After years of failed medical procedures, empty cradles, and endless silent tears, the young woman looked at her husband and wept, “The fertility treatment worked… We’re finally having the baby we prayed for.” The husband’s reaction was explosive—he dropped to his knees, sobbing so hard that their dog rushed over to comfort him. To anyone watching, it looked like pure, unadulterated happiness. But as he looked up at his wife and whispered, “Let’s go tell your parents in person,” his heart was actually hammering against his ribs in absolute terror.
The truth was, the fertility treatment hadn’t just “worked” by chance. Months prior, drowning in massive medical debt and desperate to make his wife’s only dream come true, the husband had made a dangerous deal with a rogue black-market medical lab. They promised him a guaranteed pregnancy, but it came with a chilling condition: the child would legally belong to their corporate experimental program the day it turned eighteen.
As they got into the car to drive to her parents’ house, his wife was beaming with holy joy, completely unaware of the shadow hanging over her womb. The husband looked out the window, realizing that the clock had just started ticking. He had successfully given his wife the miracle she wanted, but he had just signed an unholy contract with the devil—and the people he owed were already tracking their car.
